Gordon Ramsay's company allegedly owes over $2 million (Â£1.3 million) to the US government in unpaid taxes.

According to WENN, Gordon Ramsay Holdings has been sent three outstanding tax bills within the last eight months, with the most recent demand alone coming to $484,500 (Â£323,000).

A spokesperson for Ramsay's firm explained that the missed payments are nothing to do with the celebrity chef himself, and that he will not accept any personal liability, adding: "This [debt] relates specifically to a restaurant operation in New York which has been restructured. Conversations are in hand with US authorities to settle outstanding corporate liabilities."
